Marvel and DC both made animation news at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. DC announced a couple of new animated movies centered on Batman and the Justice League, while Marvel offered a sneak peek at the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series -- which boasts a style that may mark a depature for Marvel Studios' animated arm.

Along those lines, the Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil serves an important funct

Even though Marvel's officially been a part of Disney for just over a month now, the merger's true potential hasn't quite started to manifest in obvious ways.
